  Description     : CUPS driver for PeriPage / Munbyn A40 thermal printers

 A CUPS raster filter and PPD for the PeriPage / Munbyn A40 (SD) A4 thermal
 printer, which the manufacturer does not support on Linux. The printer is a
 standard USB printer-class device (/dev/usb/lp1); only USB is required.
 .
 The filter converts CUPS raster into the printer's native "XPP" protocol
 (a 0x10 0xFF control stream plus GS v 0 bit-images), reverse-engineered from
 the vendor macOS driver and cross-checked with bitrate16/peripage-python.
 .
 Print width 1728 px at 203 dpi, adjustable darkness (0-5).



I am maintaining it. I am looking for "co-maintainers" or "human backup".
I don't think I need a sponsor as I think I known quite well how Debian
Operating system is working — I'm leading the djibian blend:
